Since a bit more time was needed before they were going to get the final results, both Barry and Queta continued waiting there.
Gerald himself walked quite a distance away from the place to make a call to his sister. It was only last night when Gerald found out that she had finally returned from abroad.
He had always thought that he would be among the first to meet his sister as soon as she returned. After all, he missed her dearly since both of them hadn’t met for so long.
During the call, Jessica told him that she was attending some kind of grand function. She also mentioned that she wanted to meet Gerald there.
However, after Gerald explained that he was busy doing something for their father, she didn’t have much else to say.
A while later, Gerald ended the call and was just about to head back when he heard someone call out to him.
“Gerald?”
Turning around to see who had called him, he was stunned when he saw the familiar faces.
The group of young people—whom Gerald had seen—seemed to be playing and laughing around with each other, save for the one who had just called out to him. They had all clearly come here in search for amusement.
Of the five people in the group, Maia and Warren were among them. Jamier was there too, along with Gerald’s old high school competition teammates, Vincy and Lennard.
“Humph! It really is him! What a coincidence! We really can bump into him just about anywhere we go!” said Maia as she couldn’t help but smile rather bitterly.
They were here because Jamier had told them that this scenic spot was quite famous. What more, it was mostly reserved for the well-off since the prices of things here were particularly expensive.
Aside from that, there was also another place called the Summer Resort which was located near the peak of the mountain. All sorts of high-end entertainment centers could apparently be found there.
One usually needed to have a certain level of influence and wealth in County Salford to even be able to go there to have fun.
Quite frankly, the scenery at the foot of the mountain was nothing compared to what one would be able to experience once they arrived at the Summer Resort.
Since Jamier wanted to prove his capabilities and have some fun at the same time, he had begged his father to allow all five of them up there to have a good time together.
After some difficulty, he finally managed to convince his father, which was why they were all ascending the mountain now. It was also why they had managed to bump into Gerald again while they were enjoying the scenery.
“I had initially wanted to invite you out to have fun with us, but I didn’t know whether you had anything going on since you came all the way out here to County Salford!” said Vincy with a chuckle.
